Employees clock in and out daily through an app, using their desk top computer. The internet in our area can be slow at times. One employee is regularly asking to have their start time adjusted to 8am due to the slow internet service. This person is regularly clocks in right at 8 or minutes after, often blaming it on the internet if its after 8am. Other employees who start at 8am do not have this issue. Can I refuse to adjust their start time, and advise to arrive a few minutes earlier to ensure they are able to clock in on time?

We had a full-time employee resign with company and a few years later came back with a new hire date. Now after 4 yrs and 2 months, company has terminated employee paying him 5 weeks in lieu of notice. Employee is asking for severance pay on top of in lieu of notice pay stipulating, he wants us to add his years of service prior to him resigning before. He work 4 years prior, resigned and was gone 2 years. Came back and worked 4 yrs 2 months. Employer is only responsible for his recent employment dates correct?
